Big Rush Brings
Record Progress
With records of 300 and more
feet of production on good days,
the main tile of the trunkiine sewer being laid across Clare's northwest area emerged out of the
fields and onto McEwan street this,
week.
After a start across the school
property when water in the ditch
bothered during, the first couple
of days, drier construction was encountered and the job raced on for
the best production since the start.
Mayor Howard Everts and Commissioner Charles Cooper made a
door-to-door canvass of property
owners on McEwan street in the
block where the sewer is to be
laid, and obtained pledges of
prompt payment of the estimated
amountr of per footage  cost.
"Close financing makes it necessary -to collect as we go' along",
Everts said, "but this is going to
save the city a lot of money, even
if it does involve extra 'leg work".
The Mayor is doing most of the
extra leg work himself and has
spent much time away from his
own business while tending to various details of the big sewer construction job.v
The earth-moving equipment is
out of the tight "bottleneck" alongside the Woodward property and
now backing along the narrow
strip between the pavement on
US-27 and business fronts. Leonard's Speedway 79 gas station was
Out of business temporarily while
the drive was blocked, but Herb
expects to be back at the pumps
tomorrow.
Looking ahead to construction up
John R. Street, Mayor Everts
asked property owners to be ready <
with payments of whatever they
can afford so as to keep the job
moving during the time between
now and January when borrowed
funds are expected to be made
available.

City Police Issue
Only Clare Licenses
Clare Police Chief Don Harrison
is the victim of some misunderstanding about who can take applications for drivers' licenses, and
says that he would like to dear up
the. situation a little.
Since a recent change iii'the regulations in issuing the operator's
license, any* person living outside
an incorporated city or village,
must apply to the sheriff of the
county in which he resides,
"This means", Harrison said,
"that I cannot take applications' for
drivers' licenses unless the applicant lives within the limits of the
City of Clare".

The fire, apparently had caught

__, Most of the roof was in flames
when the firemen arrived, but the
furnitlre had been carried out with
the assistance of neighbors.
The'loss, estimated at $3,000 is
covered by insurance.
Local firemen were summoned
to the Herbert Benson cottage on
the west side of Crooked Lake at
10:30. a.m. ■ Tuesday. The Benspns
live in Detroit.
- A group of hunters were using
the cottage, but the flames broke
out after the hunters had left for
the woods. It is thought the fire
was started by an oil burner in the
basement. . '_
The cottage and furnishings
were, a total loss and all of the

a half east of Clare on US-10 at

"one time for all' is a very worthy
one, LaGoe said. He asked individuals to remember when they
are asked to give, that* "our quota
is slightly .higher -than 1952,-but of
the $5;34Q, which the county is attempting to raise, $3,500 remains
here to be used locally".
Progress reports were not complete yet for many of tjne Clare
county towns and communities taking part in the drive.
Of the localities, however, which,
did report on the success of the
drive to date, Harrison city was
$100 dollars over the quota according to Leonard Klaasse, 1953 Cam-
paign Chairman for the county.
Partial returns from the townships indicated ".great success"-in
